Licensed Auctioneers: Harvey G. Stack, #522763; Norman Stack, #798113.
TERMS OF SALE
1. This is a public auction sale conducted by licensed and bonded auctioneers. The principal licensed auc-
tioneers are Harvey G. Stack, #522763 and Norman Stack, #798113.
2. Each bidder, by bidding in the sale, agrees that a 10% BUYER’S CHARGE will be added to the
"hammer price” or winning bid of each lot as determined by the auctioneer. This 10% BUYER’S
FEE will be added to the invoice of each successful bidder over and above the actual sum bid or offered.
The Buyer’s Fee applies regardless of a bidder’s affiliation with any group or organization, and is
imposed on all bidders. Bidders also agree to pay all Postage and Insurance charges in addition to the
sums bid. No lots will be delivered or shown at the auction.
3. STACK’S is not responsible for your errors in bidding. Please bid on the correct lot.
4. All persons seeking to bid must have a catalogue and register to bid. The auctioneer may decline to
recognize any bidder who does not have a catalogue and has not registered and been given a paddle
number. Any prospective bidder may be required to establish credit references or submit a deposit of 25%
of their bids. All new bidders should be prepared to establish credit with the auctioneer prior to register-
ing to bid. By bidding in this sale, even if as an agent, or on behalf of a corporation or for another
individual, a bidder personally guarantees prompt payment. STACK’S reserves the right to require
payment in full before delivering lots to a successf^ul bidder, and reserves the right to require the
principals, and directors of any corporate bidder to execute a guarantee of payment (which, in any event
they do by having an agent or employee bid in the sale) prior to allowing a bid to be placed or recognized.
Bids are not accepted from minors. By bidding in this sale, the bidder certifies that they are of legal age,
are authorized to make the bid that they make, and that the purchase is not a consumer credit transac-
tion. TITLE REMAINS WITH STACK’S UNTIL PAID FOR IN FULL. Should purchaser take any
action under Title 11 of the United States Code, or under any state insolvency law, buyer agrees to
promptly return to STACK’S any lots not paid for. The buyer agrees to keep the lots fully insured until
paid for. Risk of loss is on the buyer.
5. The highest bidder as determined in the sole discretion of the auctioneer shall be the buyer. If the
auctioneer determines that a dispute has arisen between two or more bidders, the lot may be immediate-
ly put up and sold again. Bidders with whom the dispute previously arose shall be without further
recourse for any damages whatsoever.
6. IF YOU BID BY MAIL, MAIL YOUR BID SHEET EARLY. In general, we start the bidding on each
lot at a small advance over the next highest bid, and attempt to purchase the lot for you as reasonably as
possible. When identical mail bids are received, preference is given to the first bid received, as deter-
mined by the auctioneer. A mail bid will take precedence over an identical floor bid, and a floor bidder
must bid higher than the highest mail bid to be awarded any lot. The auctioneer reserves the right to
refuse ridiculously low bids which he, in his sole discretion, feels are not made in good faith. The
auctioneer reserves the right to open the lot at a reasonable price. The auctioneer shall also have sole
discretion to set initial, and subsequent bidding increments, and to accept, or to decline to accept,
challenges to those bidding increments. All bids not in whole dollar amounts may be rounded downward
by the auctioneer. The auctioneer may open bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the seller, a
mail bidder, STACK’S, or another participant in the sale. The auctioneer may bid further on behalf of
the seller up to the amount of the reserve by placing successive or consecutive bids for a lot, or by
placing bids in response to other bidders. The auctioneer may bid for his, or its, own account at any
auction and may have access to information concerning the lots, and items contained in them, that are
not otherwise available to the public. Estimates given are for the general guidance of the bidder and
represent the opinion of the auctioneer as to the fair market value of the numismatic item at the time of
cataloguing, based on experience and comparable sales, if applicable. The actual price realized may be
higher, or lower than the estimate. If a lot is reserved, the reserve may not exceed the maximum
estimated price.
7. Auction sales are not approval sales. In the event of non-payment by the buyer, STACK’S reserves any
and all rights that it would be entitled to under the Uniform Commercial Code, including buyer’s consent
to file a financing statement without need of buyer’s signature, and to offset any sums due on any future
consignment or purchase or goods in possession of Stack’s or assigns. Floor bidders are encouraged to
carefully examine all lots on which they are interested in bidding prior to the sale. Floor bidders, and
anyone actually viewing the lots, agree that except for reasons of non-authenticity, all viewed lots are
sold "as is,’’ and NO LOTS PURCHASED BY FLOOR BUYERS or those who have viewed the lots MAY
BE RETURNED. All bidders agree to adhere to this rule, including those lots where the floor buyer is
acting as agent for another, or those lots sold to mail bidders who bave examined tbe lots. All items
offered in this catalogue are guaranteed to be genuine and correctly attributed. Claims to the contrary
must be made, in writing, within seven (7) days after receipt of the material.
8. No lot may be returned for any reason whatsoever without the prior written consent of STACK’S, or if it
has been removed from its original container. Grading is a subjective description in the opinion of the
cataloguer as to the state of preservation, method of strike, and overall appearance of a particular coin or
lot. The term "proof’ or "specimen” is used to describe a method of manufacture, and is not a grade or
condition or an attribution. Such terms are the opinion of the cataloguer and shall be deemed to be part
of the description, and not an attribution. No warranty, whether express or implied, including a warran-
ty of merchantability, is made with respect to such adjectival description, which can and do vary among
experts. In most instances, STACK’S utilizes adjectival descriptions for grading, rather than numerical
shorthand. An explanation of what STACK’S means by "Uncirculated,” "Choice Uncirculated,” and "Gem
Uncirculated” appears elsewhere in this catalogue and is made a part of these terms and conditions of
sale. STACK’S may utilize numerical descriptions, and may include in the auction numismatic items that
have been graded or attributed by others, in which case it is so stated. No warranty, or guaranty,
whether express or implied, including a warranty of merchantability, is made with respect to such
numerical description, or attribution or grade of any third party, which can and does vary among
experts. Unless otherwise stated, the lot offered for sale does not include any rights or claim against any
third party with respect to such grade or attribution, or any guarantee by any third party.
9. The auctioneer and cataloguer, STACK’S, reserves the right to include its own material in any auction
sale. The auctioneer may have direct or indirect interests in these, and other items, and may collect a
minimum price in addition to the selling commission. This paragraph shall be deemed a part of the
description of all lots contained in the catalogue. The catalogue shall also be deemed a part of any
invoice issued by the auctioneer. The auctioneer may make loans or advances to consignors and/or
prospective purchasers. The consignor may be permitted to bid on his, her or their own articles and to
buy them back at the sale. Any buyer who bids on or purchases their own goods is required to pay for
them, in full, as the terms of sale provide for together with the full buyer’s commission, without rebate of
any kind whatsoever. In accordance with the consignment agreement, settlement will thereafter be
made.
10. Bids are so much per LOT. No lots will be broken up unless otherwise stated.
11. The auctioneer generally calls the sale of lots in their numerical sequence. Occasionally, through error, a
lot will be put up out of its numerical order, in which case the auctioneer shall solely determine whether
or not a hammered lot shall be re-offered, or if it shall be considered as sold. No bidder shall have any
claim against the auctioneer, or STACK’S, for improper sequence of offering a lot.
12. Auction sales are strictly for cash and must be paid for promptly in U.S. funds. All bidders personally
guarantee prompt payment. Checks are permitted with identification acceptable to STACK’S. Our bank
account number appears on the title page. On any accounts past due, STACK’S reserves the right to
extend credit and impose periodic charges as stated on the invoice or statement. Buyer agrees to pay the
reasonable attorneys fees and costs required to collect on such past due account.
13. All lots delivered in New York State are subject to applicable Sales Tax. Buyer agrees to pay any sales
tax, and any other applicable taxes that now, or hereafter, are found to be due by virtue of the sale, and
to indemnify and hold STACK’S harmless for any sales or other taxes due thereunder, including reason-
able attorneys fees and any interest or penalties assessed.
14. As a condition of bidding, bidder agrees that numismatic auction sales are unique in terms of their
tradition and industry practices. Each bidder agrees that any claim or controversy arising out of this
public auction sale shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration under the rules of the Professional
Numismatists Guild, Inc. ("PNG”). In the event that a dispute arises between STACK’S and a non-
member of the PNG, this means that the American Arbitration Association, at New York, N.Y., shall
have exclusive jurisdiction over the controversy. By bidding in this sale you agree to be bound by the
arbitration provisions of the PNG, as described above. In all cases, the maximum liability of STACK’S
for any item sold shall be limited to the official price of record of the item at this sale, without provision
for consequential damages, or any other damages of any kind whatsoever, unless the PNG rules provide
otherwise.
15. STACK’S warrants good title to the numismatic items sold in this sale. STACK’S agrees to reimburse
any purchaser in an amount equal to the successful bid at auction plus any buyer’s commission paid in
the event that it is determined that the purchaser has not acquired title to the item. STACK’S expressly
disclaims any consequential damages, and bidder consents to said disclaimer.
16. The auctioneer reserves the right to postpone the sale by auction for a reasonable period of time as a
result of any significant event which, in the sole discretion of the auctioneer, makes it advisable to
postpone the event. No bidder or prospective bidder or purchaser or prospective purchaser shall have
recourse as a result of any postponement. In any event, no person may bid without registering, and ALL
REGISTERED BIDDERS (including mail bidders and agents) by registering or bidding AGREE TO ALL
OF THE ABOVE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE.

STACK’S GRADING POLICY

Stack’s believes that adjectival grading is the best way to describe a coin. However,

define the adjectival and numerical grading as we interpret it in this catalogue.
Comparative Grading Language
Brilliant Uncirculated is at least MS-60
Choice Brilliant Uncirculated is at least MS-63
Gem Brilliant Uncirculated is at least MS-65
It should be understood by all that grading is a subjective art. See our Terms of

SECOND KNOWN 1806 HALF DOLLAR MULING
1416 1806 Pattern Half Dollar. Obverse of 1806 Pointed 6 (Overton 123/124). Reverse of the 1874 U.S. 12(2
envelope embossing die. White metal, oversize planchet, struck out of collar. Uncirculated, minor
nicks. Lustrous, particularly the reverse, with some gray toning on the obverse. Struck from a
rusted obverse, and the reverse die has large rust pits on and around Henry Clay’s portrait. Die
rust slightly more advanced than on the only other specimen known to us (our Oechsner Sale of
September 1988, lot 244). 10-12 uniface obverse pieces are known. The obverse die was in private
hands after 1876, but is now at the ANS. From the amount of die rust, we suspect that this was a
late 19th Century strike. Judd (7th edition) p.226.
1417 1863 Pattern Cent. Experimental piece in bronze without 'L’. Judd 299. Brilliant Proof. The obverse
mint red with a small deeper area on the cheek; the reverse is fading red and light brown. Many

SOUVENIR CARDS AND BOOKS
A Superb Collection of Souvenir Cards and Books
IPP & DSU CONVENTION BOOKS
In the souvenir card field, many of the most beautiful engravings come (naturally) from the
souvenir booklets prepared for the annual conventions of the International Plate Printers and Die
Sinkers Union. Since the books were given to those attending the convention and not sold to the

offering is among the finest ever, with several previously unknown and undescribed books as well
as a number of other rare years.
